fix: stripEnvelopeMetadata multiline wrapper regression

[jlin53882]

Summary

Fixes the multiline wrapper regression identified by rwmjhb in PR #510 review, and resolves the original subagent instruction fragment bug.

Changes

Step 1 — Strip entire wrapper lines (prefix + all inline content)

let cleaned = text.replace(
  /^\[(?:Subagent Context|Subagent Task)\].*/gim,
  '',
);

Uses .* so that subagent instruction fragments like You are running as a subagent (depth 1/1). are not left behind.

Step 2 — Strip multiline continuation lines

Case A — "You are running as a subagent..." on separate line
If a line matches the subagent phrase AND the previous line is a wrapper prefix, strip it. (rwmjhb Nice to Have #2)

Case B — Known boilerplate phrases (only when not followed by user content)
Strips Results auto-announce..., do not busy-poll..., Reply with a brief acknowledgment only., Do not use any memory tools. only when NOT followed by user content. (rwmjhb Must Fix #1)

Bug fixed

Issue	Description	Status
Original bug	You are running as a subagent (depth 1/1). left behind	✅ Fixed by Step 1
rwmjhb Must Fix #1	Reply with a brief acknowledgment only. on its own line not stripped	✅ Fixed by Case B
rwmjhb Nice to Have #2	You are running as a subagent... on separate line not stripped	✅ Fixed by Case A
Do-not-false-positive	Legitimate user text matching boilerplate phrases preserved	✅ Protected by Case B

Test coverage

14 original tests + 3 new tests covering Must Fix #1, Nice to Have #2, and do-not-false-positive guard.

Addresses rwmjhb's feedback from #510 — "Must Fix #1" (standalone boilerplate line) and "Nice to Have #2" (multiline wrapper with You are running as a subagent... on separate line).

"wrapper zone" 状态机逻辑合理：Step 1 整行移除 [Subagent Context/Task] prefix，Step 2 在 wrapper zone 内继续清理 boilerplate continuation lines，遇到真实内容就退出 zone。

关键：false-positive 保护测试到位 — 如果用户消息本身包含 boilerplate 短语（如 "Do not use any memory tools."），只要不在 wrapper zone 内就不会被误删。

LGTM ✅

[jlin53882]

Hi @AliceLJY — a new commit (703d5b2) was pushed after your review with an important fix:

Root cause: The \hadWrapperPrefix\ array was computed AFTER Step 1 stripped wrapper lines (turning them into empty strings), so the state machine never detected wrapper zones.

Fix: Compute \hadWrapperPrefix\ from the original input text before Step 1 runs.

All 17 unit tests + 9 bug-scenario tests pass. Could you take another look when you have a moment? Thanks!

[rwmjhb]

Review Summary

Automated multi-round review (7 rounds, Claude + Codex adversarial). The problem (subagent instruction fragments leaking into extracted memories) is real and worth solving.

Must Fix

1. Strip condition inverted — isFollowedByUserContent inverts the logic: wrapper-preceded boilerplate is never stripped when followed by user content, which is the opposite of the intended behavior.

2. Case A not implemented — PR description claims handling of "You are running as a subagent..." on a separate line, but the diff adds no regex or logic for this case. Step 1 only catches it when inline on the wrapper line.

3. Global regex scope widening — Step 1 now strips [Subagent Context|Task] lines anywhere in the message via multiline regex, not just in the leading wrapper zone. This silently deletes legitimate quoted/pasted transcript content.

4. Build failure — TypeScript compilation did not succeed.

5. Test infrastructure — EADDRINUSE on port 11434 crashes the test suite at Test 8 before new tests execute. Mock Ollama server port not released between tests.

Nice to Have

• Five module-level identifiers are now unreachable dead code after the refactor
• Comment describes "preceded by" semantics but code checks what follows
• False-positive guard still deletes boilerplate-looking user text at end of message

Questions

• The Nice-to-Have 关于rerank #2 test appears incompatible with Case B logic — does it actually pass?
• Is the branch behind main? stale_base=true was flagged. Consider rebasing.

Please address the must-fix items. The direction is good — once these are resolved, this is ready to merge.

[jlin53882]

@rwmjhb Thanks for the detailed review. New commit 81a6205 addresses all must-fix items.

Must Fix #1: Strip condition inverted

The isFollowedByUserContent bug was already fixed in commit 0194402. The logic now correctly strips boilerplate when still in wrapper zone.

Must Fix #2: Case A not implemented

Commit 81a6205 implements prevWasWrapper tracking to correctly handle multiline wrapper content.

Must Fix #3: Global regex scope widening

Root cause: old Step 1 used global regex matching wrapper prefixes anywhere in the message.

Fix: single-pass state machine that only strips in the leading zone. Once stillInLeadingZone becomes false, it never becomes true again.

Must Fix #4: Build failure

CI environment issue (EADDRINUSE on port 11434), not a code issue.

Must Fix #5: Test infrastructure

Separate CI infrastructure issue, unrelated to stripEnvelopeMetadata.

All 17 unit tests pass. Could you re-review when you have a moment?

[rwmjhb]

Review

Thanks for tackling this — the multiline wrapper regression is a real problem worth fixing.

However, the current implementation has fundamental issues that would need a significant rework:

1. Guard logic is inverted: !isFollowedByUserContent(i) means boilerplate is never stripped when followed by user content (the main use case). The existing test "strips multiline wrapper continuation text but preserves following conversation" would regress.
2. Case A is described but not implemented: No code handles "You are running as a subagent..." on its own line — the Step 1 regex only catches [Subagent Context|Task] lines.
3. Build and tests: TypeScript compilation failed in our run, and the test suite crashed before the 3 new tests could execute.

Suggest rebasing onto main and considering reusing the existing stripLeadingRuntimeWrappers (which already handles the subagent phrase) with corrected logic, rather than inlining a replacement.

[jlin53882]

Adversarial review fixes pushed

After conducting a full adversarial review (claw-self-review + Claude Code + opencode), we identified and fixed 3 MAJOR bugs in commit 9b93534:

MAJOR #1 — Guard decoupled from state machine

hasActualUserContent global scan + stillInLeadingZone line-level state mismatch caused boilerplate to leak when user content appeared before boilerplate.

MAJOR #2 — Missing /m regex flag

BOILERPLATE_RE without /m had ^ and $ matching string boundaries instead of line boundaries.

MAJOR #3 — State machine reset on wrapper lines

stillInLeadingZone = true was reset on every wrapper line, violating the "never return" invariant.

---

Fixed branch: https://github.com/jlin53882/memory-lancedb-pro/tree/fix/subagent-wrapper-clean-v2

Test results: 20/20 pass

The fix includes 3 new regression tests covering previously-uncovered edge cases.

Please consider rebasing or updating PR #531's head branch to 9b93534, or let us know if you prefer a separate PR.

[jlin53882]

Regarding stripLeadingRuntimeWrappers reuse

rwmjhb's suggestion: "reuse the existing stripLeadingRuntimeWrappers rather than inlining a replacement."

Current state

stripLeadingRuntimeWrappers (lines 71-105) is untouched and still exists in the updated code. It is a separate function that handles the older runtime wrapper stripping pattern.

stripEnvelopeMetadata (lines 126-208) is a new, independent state machine that handles the multiline wrapper + envelope metadata case.

Why we did not merge them

The two functions serve different input patterns and different stages:

• stripLeadingRuntimeWrappers — used internally by extractCandidates before calling stripEnvelopeMetadata
• stripEnvelopeMetadata — handles the outer envelope metadata stripping (wrapper + platform headers + JSON blocks)

They are composed in the pipeline (not competing), so removing or merging either would be a separate refactor beyond the scope of this PR.

Future improvement (non-blocking)

If maintainers prefer, a future PR could consolidate the two functions into a single state machine. That would be a cleanup refactor, not a correctness fix.

This PR focuses solely on fixing the three MAJOR bugs in the existing stripEnvelopeMetadata implementation.

Follow-up review on 9b93534

Thanks for the thorough follow-up — the adversarial self-review and the three targeted fixes in 9b93534 show good engineering discipline.

Status of previous must-fix items

#	Finding	Author response	Status
F2	Guard logic inverted (isFollowedByUserContent)	Fixed in 0194402 — now strips boilerplate within wrapper zone	✅ Claimed resolved
F3	Case A not implemented	prevWasWrapper tracking added in 81a6205	✅ Claimed resolved
MR1	Global regex scope widening	Single-pass state machine with stillInLeadingZone in 9b93534	✅ Claimed resolved
EF1	Build failure	Author attributes to environment (EADDRINUSE)	⚠️ Unverified
EF2/EF3	Test suite crash (port 11434)	Pre-existing infra defect, unrelated to this PR	⚠️ Acknowledged

Remaining asks

1. Rebase onto main — stale_base=true. There have been commits on main since this branch diverged; please rebase to confirm no conflicts and that the state machine still works against the current codebase.

2. Confirm test results post-rebase — The 20/20 claim is from the author's local run. After rebase, please paste the full test output (at minimum the strip-envelope-metadata tests) so we can close the loop on EF1-EF3.

3. Dead code cleanup (non-blocking) — RUNTIME_WRAPPER_LINE_RE, RUNTIME_WRAPPER_PREFIX_RE, RUNTIME_WRAPPER_BOILERPLATE_RE, stripRuntimeWrapperBoilerplate, and stripLeadingRuntimeWrappers appear to be unreachable after this refactor. If they're still composed in the pipeline as you described, a brief comment clarifying the call chain would help future maintainers.

Verdict

The direction is solid and the author has been responsive. Pending rebase + green test confirmation, this should be good to merge.

Review: fix: stripEnvelopeMetadata multiline wrapper regression

Thanks for tackling this — the wrapper fragment problem is worth solving and the two-step approach (strip prefix lines, then continuation boilerplate) is a reasonable architecture. A few issues need attention before merge.

Must Fix

1. isFollowedByUserContent inverts the strip condition (smart-extractor.ts:152)

The guard boilerplate_match && !isFollowedByUserContent(i) means boilerplate is only stripped when there is no user content after it. But the dominant case is wrapper preamble followed by user content — so the boilerplate lines are never stripped in practice. The existing test "strips multiline wrapper continuation text but preserves following conversation" should fail with this logic.

The correct signal is whether the boilerplate line was preceded by a wrapper context, not whether user content follows it. Consider tracking an inWrapperBlock flag that activates after a stripped wrapper line and resets on the first non-blank, non-boilerplate line.

2. Case A is described but not implemented

The PR description states Case A strips "You are running as a subagent..." when it appears on a separate line after a wrapper prefix. However, the diff adds no code to detect that phrase on its own line or to check whether the previous line was a wrapper prefix. Step 1's regex ^\[(?:Subagent Context|Subagent Task)\].* strips the [Subagent Context] line but leaves "You are running as a subagent (depth 1/1)." intact. The Nice to Have #2 test should fail for this reason.

3. Step 1 strips [Subagent Context|Task] lines globally

The gim regex replaces these markers anywhere in the message, not just in the leading wrapper zone. If a user's message legitimately contains text matching [Subagent Context], it gets silently removed. Consider anchoring the stripping to the leading lines only.

4. Build / test verification

• TypeScript build did not succeed in our verification environment — please confirm tsc passes on your branch.
• The full test suite crashes at Test 8 (EADDRINUSE on port 11434) before the 3 new tests execute. This is a pre-existing test infra issue, but it means the claimed "14 + 3 = 17 pass" result is unverifiable. Could you share your local test output?

Nice to Have

• Dead code: RUNTIME_WRAPPER_LINE_RE, RUNTIME_WRAPPER_PREFIX_RE, RUNTIME_WRAPPER_BOILERPLATE_RE, stripRuntimeWrapperBoilerplate, and stripLeadingRuntimeWrappers are now unreachable. Notably, RUNTIME_WRAPPER_BOILERPLATE_RE already handles "You are running as a subagent" — you might be able to reuse it rather than inlining new logic.
• Comment/code mismatch: Comment at line 136 says "preceded by" but the code checks what follows via isFollowedByUserContent.

Branch Housekeeping

Branch is behind main — please rebase before the next push.

[jlin53882]

All issues addressed — please re-review

We have gone through your review point by point. Here is the complete resolution:

Must Fix 1 — isFollowedByUserContent inverted guard

Fixed. hasActualUserContent and isFollowedByUserContent have been completely removed. The state machine now strips boilerplate unconditionally inside the leading zone — no global guard is used. The strip condition is based on the stillInLeadingZone state flag, which is set on entry and exits permanently on first real user content.

Must Fix 2 — Case A not implemented

Fixed. isSubagentContent branch is implemented using prevWasWrapper && SUBAGENT_RUNNING_RE. When a line matches "You are running as a subagent" after a wrapper prefix, it is stripped. prevWasWrapper stays true until real user content is encountered.

Must Fix 3 — Step 1 regex strips globally

Fixed. The old text.replace(/\[[...]].*/gim, '') approach has been completely removed. The new implementation uses WRAPPER_LINE_RE.test(trimmed) — a line-by-line test, not a global replace. No global stripping occurs.

Must Fix 4 — Build / test verification

Fixed. All 20 tests pass on the latest codebase:

node --test test/strip-envelope-metadata.test.mjs
ℹ tests 20 / ℹ pass 20 / ℹ fail 0

Dead code cleanup

Fixed. stripLeadingRuntimeWrappers, stripRuntimeWrapperBoilerplate, RUNTIME_WRAPPER_LINE_RE, RUNTIME_WRAPPER_PREFIX_RE, and RUNTIME_WRAPPER_BOILERPLATE_RE have been removed from smart-extractor.ts (~55 lines deleted). The only live stripLeadingRuntimeWrappers in the repo is in auto-capture-cleanup.ts, which is unrelated to this PR.

Comment / code mismatch

Fixed. The old comments referencing preceded by / isFollowedByUserContent have been removed along with the old logic.

Branch housekeeping

No rebase needed. Our branch (fix/subagent-wrapper-clean-v2, commit 0dd9a59) is based on origin/master at 902ada3 + 12 additional fix commits. It is not behind main — it is ahead.

Could you take another look when you have time?

[rwmjhb]

Re-review after author fixes (commit 0dd9a59)

Thanks for the thorough response. The inverted guard, missing Case A, and dead code issues from the first review are all resolved — good work.

Two new issues surfaced in the re-review:

Must Fix

1. Blank lines prematurely end the leading wrapper zone (NEW)

The old implementation explicitly skipped blank leading lines (if (strippingLeadIn && current === "") continue;), but the new state machine has no blank-line branch before the stillInLeadingZone = false transition.

Repro: [Subagent Context] → blank line → Results auto-announce to your requester. → Actual user content starts here.
Expected: Actual user content starts here.
Actual: Results auto-announce to your requester.\nActual user content starts here.

A single empty line inside the subagent wrapper preamble causes the sanitizer to stop stripping, so boilerplate leaks into extracted memories.

Nice to Have

2. isWrapper check still fires globally (smart-extractor.ts:89-93)

The if (isWrapper) { ... continue; } block precedes the stillInLeadingZone guard, so any [Subagent Context] or [Subagent Task] line mid-message is still stripped regardless of position. Consider gating on stillInLeadingZone.

3. hasLeadingWrapper pre-scan spans all lines (smart-extractor.ts:83-85)

originalLines.some(...) scans the entire message. If a wrapper token appears mid-message, hasLeadingWrapper becomes true and leading boilerplate phrases can be false-positive stripped. Replace with an in-loop flag set only when a wrapper is seen while stillInLeadingZone is true.

4. SUBAGENT_RUNNING_RE is substring-based

The regex /You are running as a subagent\b/i is not anchored, so any leading-zone line that merely contains the phrase is stripped — including legitimate quoted instructions like Please echo exactly: You are running as a subagent (depth 1/1).

Build note

The build failure flagged in my first review appears to be a harness artifact — this repo has no tsconfig.json or tsc CI job. Disregard that point; 20/20 test pass is the relevant signal here.

[jlin53882]

All issues addressed (commit 68717b7)

Thank you for the thorough re-review. All four points have been addressed:

Must Fix 1 — Blank line fix

Fixed. Blank lines are now stripped without exiting the leading zone. A dedicated branch handles trimmed === "":

if (trimmed === "") {
  result.push(""); // strip blank, do NOT exit leading zone
  continue;
}

N2 — isWrapper guard

Fixed. Wrapper lines are now gated on stillInLeadingZone:

if (stillInLeadingZone && isWrapper) {  // was: if (isWrapper)
  prevWasWrapper = true;
  result.push("");
  continue;
}

N3 — hasLeadingWrapper pre-scan

Retained as design choice. The pre-scan is needed to preserve standalone boilerplate text that matches the pattern but has no wrapper context. An in-loop flag would also work but offers no significant advantage here.

N4 — SUBAGENT_RUNNING_RE anchoring

Fixed. Anchored with ^ to prevent false-positives on quoted/cited text:

const SUBAGENT_RUNNING_RE = /^You are running as a subagent\b/i;

Test results

All 20/20 tests pass. Claude Code review confirms the state machine logic is sound.

Branch: jlin53882/fix/subagent-wrapper-clean-v2 (commit 68717b7)

[rwmjhb]

Re-review on 68717b7

Thanks for the detailed follow-up. The blank-line fix and stillInLeadingZone guard for isWrapper look good — N2 and N4 from the prior review are resolved. Two items remain.

Verdict: request-changes (confidence 0.95)

Must Fix

1. Build verification needed

Verification artifact shows BUILD_FAILURE (build_status=fail) and predates your latest commits (stale_base=true). The 20/20 pass claim is via jiti runtime transpile — jiti-green does not guarantee tsc-green. Please confirm npx tsc --noEmit passes on 68717b7 and share output.

2. hasLeadingWrapper pre-scan still spans all lines

You retained the global pre-scan by design choice — understood. However, if [Subagent Context] appears mid-message as quoted text, hasLeadingWrapper becomes true and boilerplate phrases in the leading zone are incorrectly stripped. The false-positive surface is real even if narrow. Consider scoping the pre-scan to lines before the first non-empty, non-wrapper line.

Nice to Have

• Continuation matching is substring-based — quoted user text containing continuation phrases could be stripped. Low risk but worth a code comment.
• Verification artifact is stale — predates rebase and dead-code removal commit. A fresh CI run on final HEAD would increase confidence.

Prior Items — Status

Item	Status
N2: isWrapper guard on stillInLeadingZone	✅ Fixed
N4: SUBAGENT_RUNNING_RE anchored with ^	✅ Fixed
N3: hasLeadingWrapper pre-scan scope	Retained — see Must Fix 2

[jlin53882]

Hi @rwmjhb — thanks for the feedback on Fix 1.

Regarding the tsc --noEmit check: the memory-lancedb-pro repo does not use tsc as its build tool — there is no tsconfig.json and the CI workflow also has no tsc step. TypeScript is handled via jiti runtime transpile (see the bench script: "jiti benchmark/run.ts"). All TypeScript validation is done through jiti during test execution.

On the latest HEAD (commit 4e3af31, rebased onto origin/master):

• node --test test/strip-envelope-metadata.test.mjs → 20/20 pass
• All CI checks (core-regression, cli-smoke, etc.) → green

The npm run test pipeline is the equivalent of tsc-green for this repo. Would you be able to confirm whether this satisfies the build verification concern?

Fix 2 (hasLeadingWrapper pre-scan scope) — Fixed

Commit 714d1e4 addresses Must Fix 2. The pre-scan now only scans the actual leading zone (lines before the first real user content), not the entire message.

Before (buggy):

const hasLeadingWrapper = originalLines.some((rawLine) =>
  WRAPPER_LINE_RE.test(rawLine.trim())
);
// Scanned ALL lines — a wrapper appearing in trailing zone caused false-positive stripping

After (fixed):

let foundLeadingWrapper = false;
for (let i = 0; i < originalLines.length; i++) {
  const trimmed = originalLines[i].trim();
  if (trimmed === "") continue;
  if (WRAPPER_LINE_RE.test(trimmed)) { foundLeadingWrapper = true; continue; }
  if (BOILERPLATE_RE.test(trimmed)) continue;
  break; // first real user content — stop scanning
}
const hasLeadingWrapper = foundLeadingWrapper;

Must Fix 1 (Build verification) — Addressed

Confirmed: this repo uses jiti for TypeScript runtime transpilation, not tsc. There is no tsconfig.json and no tsc CI step. The npm run test pipeline (which runs node --test with jiti transpile) is the equivalent of tsc-green for this codebase. All 20 tests pass on the latest HEAD (714d1e4).

[jlin53882]

修復內容

Claim 1 (MAJOR): Boilerplate 在 wrapper 之前被誤刪

問題：hasLeadingWrapper 是全域 boolean，只要 leading zone 內任何位置有 wrapper，所有 boilerplate 都會被刪除。

範例：

Input: Do not use any memory tools.
       [Subagent Context]
       Actual user content
Output (bug): Actual user content (被誤刪!)

根因：pre-scan 用 originalLines.some(...) 掃描整個 leading zone，導致 hasLeadingWrapper = true，進而刪除所有 boilerplate。

修復：

• 用 encounteredWrapperYet 取代全域 hasLeadingWrapper
• Boilerplate 只會在 wrapper 已經出現在前一行時才刪除
• 新測試：preserves boilerplate that appears BEFORE wrapper in leading zone

---

Claim 2 (MINOR): Wrapper 行 inline 內容全被丟棄

問題：新實作把 wrapper 行整行 push 空字串，沒有保留 inline payload。

範例：

Input: [Subagent Context] Actual user content
Output (bug): (空字串，沒有內容!)

根因：

• wrapper 行直接 push 空字串
• 沒有用 regex 剝離 wrapper prefix 再處理 inline content

修復：

1. 剝離 wrapper prefix ([Subagent Context] )
2. 用 INLINE_BOILERPLATE_RE 移除 inline 內容中的 boilerplate phrases
3. 保留剩餘內容（如果是非 boilerplate）

INLINE_BOILERPLATE_RE 包含：

• You are running as a subagent\b.*?(?:(?<=\.)\s+|$) (子代理執行片段)
• Results auto-announce to your requester. 等標準 boilerplate

@AliceLJY 我剛剛已經有經過 codex 對抗，將一些隱藏bug 抓取出來重新修正，已推上的最新的 commit 48f0131 ，再麻煩您有空的的時候 ，幫我重新review 一次，看看有沒有其他忽略的點。

[rwmjhb]

感谢这个 PR，subagent 指令片段污染 memory store 是真实问题，方向正确。

必须修复（2 项）

MR1：空行会提前终止 leading wrapper zone，后续 boilerplate 泄漏

当前实现遇到空行就把 stillInLeadingZone 置为 false。但 subagent wrapper 里经常有空行分隔各段（例如 [Subagent Context] 块和 [Instructions] 块之间），空行出现后的 boilerplate 就不会被 strip。建议只在遇到明确的非 wrapper 内容行时才结束 leading zone，而不是空行。

EF1：TypeScript build 失败

验证器报告 BUILD_FAILURE。如果这是 main 上的预存问题，请 rebase 后重新确认；如果是本 PR 引入的，需要修复后再合并。

建议修复（不阻塞合并）

• F2：isWrapper 检查是全局的，没有限制在 leading zone 内——leading zone 结束后的 wrapper 行也会被 strip，可能误删用户引用的文本
• F3：hasLeadingWrapper 预扫描所有行，如果用户消息里含有 [Subagent Context] 作为引用/粘贴文本，会误判为有 leading wrapper 并触发 boilerplate stripping
• MR2：continuation 匹配是 substring-based，用户粘贴的包含 wrapper 关键词的文本可能被整行删除

一个问题

hasLeadingWrapper 预扫描所有行——如果用户消息里含有 [Subagent Context] 作为引用/粘贴文本，会误判为有 leading wrapper 并触发 boilerplate stripping。在实际使用场景中这种情况是否需要考虑？

Re-review on 48f0131

Reviewed commit 48f0131. The leading-zone state machine approach is architecturally correct for this parsing problem, and the prevWasWrapper + stillInLeadingZone flags are cleaner than the prior regex chain. Two issues remain.

Must Fix

EF1 — Build failure needs confirmation
The verification artifact records a BUILD_FAILURE blocker. The test environment shows a port-11434 / EADDRINUSE crash that is likely infrastructure noise, but independent tsc verification is still needed. Please run tsc --noEmit locally on the current branch and confirm there are no type errors introduced by this diff.

MR1 — Blank lines prematurely exit the leading wrapper zone
The state machine exits stillInLeadingZone as soon as it encounters a blank line. This means boilerplate that immediately follows a blank line (a valid pattern in subagent instruction blocks) leaks through and is not stripped. Example:

[Subagent Context]
You are running as a subagent (depth 1/1).
                                              ← blank line here
Do not use any memory tools.                  ← this should be stripped, but isn't

The fix is to only exit the leading zone when you encounter the first non-blank, non-wrapper, non-boilerplate line (i.e., the first line that clearly belongs to the actual user message).

Nice to Have

• F2: isWrapper fires on all lines globally, not just within the leading zone. A wrapper-like line appearing later in a legitimate user message (e.g., [Subagent Context] as quoted text) would be stripped. Consider gating isWrapper stripping on stillInLeadingZone.
• F3: hasLeadingWrapper pre-scans all lines, not just leading ones. If a user message contains [Subagent Context] as quoted/pasted text in the body, it triggers wrapper-mode globally. Limiting the pre-scan to the first N lines (e.g., 10) would reduce false-positive exposure.
• MR2: Continuation matching is substring-based — quoted user text that happens to contain a continuation pattern could be deleted. An anchored match (start-of-line) would be safer.

---

The direction is sound. Address the must-fix items (build confirmation + blank-line zone exit) and this is ready for another pass.

Code Review 完成 (commit 9e1a685)

修復項目

1. MR2: Anchored Regex 修復 (Minor)

問題：INLINE_BOILERPLATE_RE 原本是 non-anchored，會匹配字串中任何位置的 boilerplate phrase，可能誤刪使用者引用或引用內容。

範例：

Input: [Subagent Context] User quoted: "Reply with a brief acknowledgment only." for documentation
Bug: 整行被刪除（因為 phrase 在任何位置都被 match）

修復：加 ^ anchor，只移除開頭的 boilerplate：

// Before
/(?:You are running as a subagent|Results auto-announce...)/gi

// After  
/^(?:(?:You are running as a subagent...|Results auto-announce...)\s*)+/i

---

2. Hidden Bug: JSON Key Order 漏洞 (Major)

問題：standalone JSON stripper 只在 message_id 出現在 sender_id 前面時才會 strip。順序顛倒會漏掉。

範例：

// 會被 strip ✅
{"message_id": "om_1", "sender_id": "ou_1"}

// 不會被 strip ❌ (leak!)
{"sender_id": "ou_1", "message_id": "om_1"}

修復：使用 order-independent lookahead：

// Before: 依賴固定順序
/```json\s*\{[^}]*"message_id"\s*:[^}]*"sender_id"\s*:[^}]*\}\s*```/g

// After: 順序無關
/```json\s*(?=\{[\s\S]*?"message_id"\s*:)(?=\{[\s\S]*?"sender_id"\s*:)\{[\s\S]*?\}\s*```/g

新增測試 (4 cases)

測試	說明
preserves inline wrapper payload that only mentions boilerplate later in the sentence	MR2 驗證
strips leading inline boilerplate but preserves payload that follows it	MR2 邊界
strips multiple leading boilerplate phrases before preserving inline payload	MR2 composite
strips standalone JSON blocks when sender_id appears before message_id	Hidden bug 驗證

總結

• MR2: 現在正確區分「wrapper boilerplate」vs「使用者引用 boilerplate」
• Hidden bug: JSON stripper 不再受 key 順序影響
• 測試覆蓋率提升至 27 cases
